This class was for : EEB 116 (choice was not offered...)

This professor always held review sessions before the exams, which was nice of him. However, it is a Q and A session. Which also can be not helpful at all. There will be a lot of silent moments. He tells everyone to read the book for the class. But if you ask him material from the book, he won’t really know what it is. So, I suggest not really wasting time reading the book for the class.

His lecturing style is a little dry. He tends to talk more about the mathematical models of conservation biology, which can be dry anyways. Also, his slides are totally unorganized. He tends to have a lot of pictures along with the information that he talks about. These pictures are important for the exam, as he will ask for an example about a topic, which will be from that one picture that shows up on the slide. He also includes several important names on his lecture slides, that he won’t provide notes with. They will always be on the exam. What is nice is that he gives you equations, so you don’t need to memorize MOST of them. There are some equations he “forgets” to give you and that you should be familiar with. For the final exam, he gave no equations yet we needed one to answer a question. But in all, the exams were more difficult than I expected. They marked me off 3 points for naming a seal, instead of an otter even though I knew the concept. I thought that was pretty stupid.

Although his lectures are considered very disorganized. If you actually plot them out into an outline, they do make sense. It just doesn't make sense in powerpoint format.
